Is this your company?

Pros

The size of the studio allows the artist to get her/his fingerprints all over the movie. The people are great, aside from the upper management. To BSS' credit, they are very supportive of family needs, and is generally supportive of the artist's life outside of the studio.

Cons

The studio is run in very cloak and dagger. Artists usually read about the casting of the movie online before hearing about it from management. The mentality of the studio is very 1997. The studio resists change and rewards yes men. The production pipeline is ridiculously stupid and inefficient. The work is uninspiring and very beige. We can't tell a story to save our lives. The initial concepts are usually exciting and great, but then Fox must fit these ideas into it's beige producing demographic machine. There is a reason Pixar is respected: they take chances. The pay sucks. The contracts suck. 0% 0% 2%. Enough said.
